haha...2017? but you had about a 3 division head start

rich, take over lancaster city, they're at the same level as poole town

see where you can get 'em

Manager of AS Cannes at the moment! Waiting for the new patch before i start a new game.

when's it out?

theres only 4 leagues in france though. hardcore is starting in county football, haha. you have to add the leagues from the editor though for the regional leagues.

Should be around March 8th i think going on previous years. There's all sorts of random expansions on the SI Games editor forums!

yeah i downloaded one where you can start at level 12 or something before snd that is proper amateur football. too difficult though. i was surprised when i took over at poole town to have a 10k transfer budget...that is a luxury even in the conference south lol. hopefully i can promote again straight away in the southern premier, gonna be tough though cos there's all sorts of local derbies in the next division - salisbury, weymouth, dorchester and bashley. if i can get out of that league then getting out of the conference south actually looks easier.

The Poole v Bashley derby ....... it's a monster. Almost as big as Coleraine v Ballymena United.

ha...na the real big one is Poole v Dorchester Town cos they're the team we've spent the most seasons in the same league with. though in recent seasons since the decline of the team in the early 2000's the big 'un has been Poole v Wimborne Town. they are a mere 5 miles up the road from poole (2 mile from where i live). nearly 1,000 people turned up at the cuthbury earlier this season (real life) for it....which is pretty astounding for level 8 football and almost as good as accrington stanley get in the football league lol. poole v wimborne return leg is in a couple of weeks time and i'll be there to watch it. carl preston is our best player by miles.

as for bashley.....they're in the new forest. they've been in the southern premier for years now. honestly, there ground has ponies and shit round it mate (literally, lol). you have to see it to believe it. think of them as a lower equivalent of forest green rovers...how on earth they've survived the conference is beyond belief. well, they've got a bit of clout behind them...but bashley...if you saw the ground...its barely fit for showjumping never mind a footie kickabout, ther'es that many lumps in it lol, wouldnt be surprised if a few moles turn up during a match.

still, all jokes aside....the career of Wade Elliott began at Bashley, so its a nicely run club, they've got a decent youth setup. tho they'll all start playing for poole now when we overtake them in the league. lol.

rich....

steam just finished downloading some sort of patch my end....is this the one with the transfer window updates?

Yeah it is mine's done aswell

gaz who are you going to manage for this challenge? wimborne town?

I'm currently playing a save as Newcastle, in my 3rd season, Won the fa cup and Europa league lasr season and finished 2nd in the league
